AB-650 (Administering Microsoft 365 and AI Services) is the exam for the Microsoft 365 Certified: Microsoft 365 and AI Services Administrator Associate certification. It is associate level, a single exam, and requires no prior certification. It has been in beta since July 2026, in English only, and Microsoft has announced general availability for October 2026.
The outline has three domains: configure and manage Microsoft 365 tenants and workloads (20–25%), govern and secure Microsoft 365 tenants and workloads (40–45%) and manage and secure AI services in Microsoft 365 (35–40%). It is the closest current certification for anyone who was preparing MS-102, which retires on 30 November 2026; we compare them in [AB-650: taking over from MS-102](/articulos/ab-650-sustituto-ms-102).
The questions are original and written from the official Microsoft Learn documentation, with the reference in every explanation. They cover all 58 objectives of the study guide, including the most recent ones: Microsoft Entra Agent ID, the agent registry, Agent 365, the Copilot Control System and Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork.
For identity, Defender for Office 365 and Microsoft Purview, which AB-650 shares with other exams, we also add questions from our MS-102 and SC-300 banks that remain within the outline. We avoided questions whose answer depends on figures, license plans or preview features, because those change. The exam is new: we will review the bank once Microsoft publishes its practice assessment.
Start with a diagnostic test and split your time by weight: governance and security is the largest domain, and within it identity with Microsoft Entra and data protection with Purview. If you come from MS-102 that block will feel familiar; spend more time on AI services, which make up more than a third of the exam.
For the AI domain it helps to practise in a test tenant: getting SharePoint and OneDrive ready for Copilot, reviewing Copilot settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center and walking through the agent registry.

Microsoft does not officially present it as a replacement. It is the closest current certification for Microsoft 365 administrators, associate level, with a new AI services block worth 35–40% of the exam. MS-102 retires on 30 November 2026.
Microsoft has announced general availability for October 2026, without a specific day. While it remains in beta, the exam score is not immediate.
No. The certification page only requires passing exam AB-650. Microsoft recommends experience with Microsoft 365 workloads and Microsoft Entra ID.
Yes. You can start free, with no credit card, and review the explanations before deciding whether you need full access.
Nothing guarantees a pass. They help you find gaps, practise the format and measure consistency alongside the documentation and real experience.
Microsoft sets the price per country. USD 165 list price (varies by country; confirm on Pearson VUE when booking). CertifyDeck does not sell the exam, only the preparation: you can start for free and full access is a one-off fee per certification.
Microsoft does not publish an exact number; its exams usually have between 40 and 60 questions. Our timed mock exam mirrors that length and the official domain weights.
You need a scaled score of 700 out of 1000. The scale does not map to a fixed percentage of correct answers, so aim for consistent results above 80% on unseen mock exams before booking.
Not yet: Microsoft currently offers AB-650 in English only. On CertifyDeck you can practice in Spanish or English so you master the terminology before the real exam.
It is a good free starting point, but it is short and repeats the same items. A practice test with hundreds of original Microsoft 365 Certified: Microsoft 365 and AI Services Administrator Associate questions, timed mock exams and practice by domain tells you where you fail and whether you keep the level under time pressure.
No. Dumps are leaked exam questions: using them breaks Microsoft's exam agreement and can void your certification. Our questions are original, written from the official skills outline, and train you to reason through new scenarios instead of memorizing answers.
What a Microsoft 365 administrator earns in 2026: about $99,000 a year in the US, €42,600 in Spain, 14,000–20,000 pesos a month in Mexico and 2.1–3 million in Colombia. What Copilot postings pay and where AB-650 fits.
